I bought my Electra Glide in '06 right after the '07's with the 96 were released. Got a smoking deal on it since it was the 88 and 5 speed. I have no complaints what so ever with the power and I ride it at 5,000+ feet. It is quick enough compared to most cars for me and the brakes are excellent. Is it faster than other sport bikes? Do I care? Nope, I can feel my balls after 300 miles of riding.
I rode an R1150GS prior and that was a great bike too, but I went with a dedicated dirt/trail bike and street bike. The Harley fit the need (long distance rides and daily commutes of 55 miles each way on the interstate) just fine.
If you like the 88 better, get it. I have a Power Commander ad exhaust on mine and it bumps the power up a little, but not that much. It didn't cost a lot and was super easy to install.
